Du Yuming asked: Then if we don’t go to Yangon, will we be criticized?

Wang Mingyu said: Our army is not accustomed to the local conditions, and the army has problems. Now we have to rest in Mandalay. As for the time to rest, we can only wait until the army recovers. Let’s talk about it. General Du, do you think this is the case? You can’t let us drag a large number of people who vomit and have diarrhea to do it with the little Japanese. This is our brother. As the commanders, we have to consider the brothers.

Du Yuming laughed secretly, your title of Southwest King is not a waste of time. The difference between the water and soil in the southwest region is not very big. Now that you can tell such a reason, a discerning person will know what you think at a glance. But since there is a reason, even if others want to say something, they have no way to say it.

The most important thing is not these. The most important thing is that Chairman Jiang asked about it. There is something to say, and Chairman Jiang will never blame Wang Mingyu for his actions, because Mandalay is the core area of ​​the entire Myanmar battlefield and the purpose of our trip. In fact, if Zhen really keeps the smooth flow of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, who would be willing to die in a foreign land for no reason?

Du Yuming felt that he underestimated Wang Mingyu at this moment. It was true that he disobeyed, but disobeying would not make Chairman Jiang angry, and it was very likely that he would win Chairman Jiang's favor. The knowledge here was so great as Stilwell, as in fact, Chairman Jiang gave him face.

At this time, Chairman Jiang naturally believed in Americans. However, for the 318th Army, Chairman Jiang estimated that the telegram was actually not very useful when he sent it. If Wang Mingyu really felt obedient to him, he would not be willing to let him go to places like Burma where birds do not shit.

And if you really want to avoid losing money in Myanmar this time, Chairman Jiang really needs people like Wang Mingyu who will not accept foreign military orders and obey them blindly, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve any results in such an allied army. Although Chairman Jiang does not understand military affairs very much, his grasp of people's hearts has reached its peak.

This time the expeditionary army looked magnificent, but in fact there were British people among the Allies. If you don’t do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and you can give your own people the benefits. Don’t even think about it.

Wang Mingyu's telegram did not return in time, but waited until the 318th Army troops arrived in Mandalay and began to defend Mandalay before calling Alexander.

This time, the call was Du Yuming. Du Yuming was also overshadowed by helplessness. It was the thing that Du Yuming didn't want to do the least, but he was helpless. Now Wang Mingyu is his immediate boss

At this moment, Alexander did not receive a call from Wang Mingyu and was furious. According to his thoughts, he must have replied within twenty minutes after he sent the telegram. He did not expect that the telegram would arrive in a day later.

Alexander is visiting Lieutenant General Stilwell this time after Lieutenant General Stilwell came to China, he served as the chief of staff of the Chinese theater. Moreover, Alexander learned that the command of the Chinese expeditionary force was in the hands of Stilwell, so General Alexander naturally had his own ideas.

General Stilwell, this time my thoughts are the common guards of Yangon by both China and Britain. How do you see General Alexander break out his own ideas? They are actually for their own retreat, not for the real garrison of Yangon.

Of course, Stilwell didn't know what the British were thinking. Seeing General Alexander cooperated so much, Stilwell smiled and said: This time I came here to command the Chinese Expeditionary Force under the order of Chiang, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater. However, I have not contacted them yet.

Alexander Avenue: Yesterday, I sent them a telegram in the name of the Allied Command, asking them to cooperate with us to guard the Yangon area, but they have not responded yet, and it has been a whole day.

Stilwell said with a smile: Oh General Alexander, have we discussed it? Haha, just kidding, I agree with General Alexander's approach. This time we are working together with you. The ultimate goal is to eliminate the Japanese army attacking Myanmar and jointly defend Yangon. It is naturally a very good suggestion. In principle, I agree with it.

Report, China called Alexander's orderly soldiers back and reported that Alexander seemed calm when he brought it to him, but in fact he was very urgent. The British repeatedly urged them to withdraw to India. Alexander naturally could not bear the lives of so many British soldiers. However, to retreat, someone would have to cut off the rear, otherwise they would not run far.

Alexander looked at the telegram, and the more he looked, the more he looked, the more he turned pale he finally angrily slapped the telegram at the table and said: Shameless Chinese, shameless Chinese, shameless Chinese.

General Stilwell looked at Alexander's dark face, and then cursed the Chinese army, saying with a bad look: General Alexander pays attention to his words when speaking.

Bastard, look at what they said, "They are not adapting to the environment and the war is changing rapidly." Are they sent here to take a vacation? A bunch of shameless soldiers. This is the hero of the war in the eyes of the Chinese. I think it's a bear. Alexander is almost madly by Wang Mingyu. If they really stay in Mandalay, then Alexander thinks it's better to leave directly.

In fact, the British still had a trace of fantasy, that is, the Japanese were intimidated by the British Empire's army and did not dare to attack Yangon. However, in fact, Alexander also thought that this idea was a bit ignorant. If the Japanese did not attack Yangon, then what was the point of attacking Myanmar?

The problem now is that the Chinese people do not cooperate with them. According to Alexander's original idea, the Chinese people came here, and the British handed over the defense zone in front to the Chinese, and then they began to retreat slowly. In the end, they successfully retreated to India and had enough face.

If the Chinese and the Japanese fight, the British could withdraw calmly, but if they were not there now, the British would be afraid of the Japanese and escape directly. This would indeed damage the reputation of the British Empire. This was also the case when Alexander saw that Wang Mingyu and the others could not delay, and he was so angry that he scolded him.

In fact, it was also caused by the incidents of Wang Mingyu and others that caught Alexander off guard.

Stilwell read the telegram report: It is very common to be unacceptable to the local environment. China has a vast territory. It is normal for such problems to occur. I know that General Wang Mingyu was born in the central and southern China, while Myanmar is a jungle area with a hot climate.

Alexander Avenue: The war is tense now, and when will they rest until General Stilwell? I think you, as their commander, have no right to restrain your subordinates?

Stilwell was a little angry. Why did this Alexander bit people randomly? Could it be that they could not fight without the Chinese army?

Stilwell said: General Alexander, don't worry, I'll contact them now. If the army can still move forward, let them move forward, but you also know that these things need to be coordinated.

Alexander heard Stilwell say this and said: If China does not have the sincerity to cooperate, then we can only fight against the Japanese by ourselves. But at the same time, we will also cancel the right to use the Chinese on the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

Such a threat is simply unbearable for Stilwell, but he must endure the interests of the Chinese side he represents this time. Stilwell nodded silently and then ordered someone to send a telegram to the 318th Army to inquire about the situation.

This time, Wang Mingyu gave Stilwell face. The telegram said that the 318th Army was not suitable for the local conditions and now it can only make adjustments in Mandalay. However, please rest assured that from the area north of Mandalay, they promised that no Japanese would be allowed to come in.

Stilwell can see from this telegram that the 318th Army is not unacceptable to the local conditions. They hit the nail on the head this time the British clearly wanted to fight the Japanese with them, but the 318th Army was unwilling to be used by the British. They now directly take it as their duty to protect the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

General Stilwell shrugged helplessly: General Alexander, I can do nothing this time, I also hope they can come as soon as possible, but they seem to be in some trouble now.

Alexander was very sad. His original plan was disrupted by the Chinese. Could it be that he would leave with his tail between his legs and that would mean that without Chinese people, would they see Japanese like mice and cats?

But the Japanese attack was too crazy. Alexander has really become a big pressure now. Now that it is really criticized for escaping now. The most important thing is that if they withdraw from their positions now, the Japanese will pounce on them like cats smelling fishy. When they retreat, there will be Japanese chasing soldiers everywhere behind them.

In the end, you can imagine how many people can only return to India alive. What Alexander is most distressing now is that if the Chinese expeditionary force does not come for a long time, it will be difficult for them to withstand the Japanese attack. In the end, the possibility of their desire to escape back to India is slim.

Now Alexander can only hope that General Stilwell can have a deterrent effect on China's military

Alexander said almost a little pleaded: General Stilwell, as the commander of the Chinese side, I think you won’t know the significance of this battle. This time our army is to resist the Japanese army with the Chinese army. Now the Japanese army is very fierce. Our British Empire can only avoid its edge. Here we are very close to China, and even the United States hopes that this is the case.

General Stilwell nodded and said: I don't deny that it is the case. Now the United States and Japan are also going to war. As the chief of staff of the Allied Chinese theater, this time, I have an obligation to let them participate. But I hope the British side is not taking advantage of their ideas, otherwise I will not be able to explain.

The reason why Stilwell said this is because Alexander's attitude changed instantly. If you want others, you will have some ideas. Alexander thinks that the arrival of the Chinese army is nothing more than hoping to borrow the hands of the Chinese to reduce their losses. Secondly, General Stilwell is unwilling to think too much because he analyzed that the British may also borrow the Chinese to hold their positions and make it easier for them to retreat.

Alexander immediately shook his head and said: The warriors of our British Empire will definitely fight to the end. We are now preparing for the battle with the ancient times. In this way, let the squadrons gather in the Gonggu area to resist the right wing of the Japanese army, so that the Chinese should be able to accept it.

Tonggu is 250 kilometers south of Yangon and 320 kilometers north of Mandalay. It is an important city and strategic location of the Yangman Railway. There is also the Keyonggang Kaidao Airport in the northwest, which is a place that the Japanese army must occupy quickly. Therefore, General Alexander failed to achieve one plan and another.

General Stilwell stood beside the map and looked at it: The location of Tonggu is very important, and the distance between Tonggu is only about two days away from Mandalay. The strategic location is very unique. It seems that the battle between Tonggu is also imperative.

But in fact, the battle between the ancient times in history has not really started to fight. There are many reasons, so I will not explain it one by one here. In short, it is caused by many objective factors. However, this time, the battle between the ancient times proposed by Alexander was obviously a last resort, and Yangon could not be kept.

Alexander proposed the Battle of the Gangkong, which was actually moving their troops backwards, so that they were one step closer to India. At that time, the Chinese would still fight against the Gangkong. They could leave in a daze. They had to say that when they escaped, the British still used their brains and seemed to be quite talented in this regard.

After Stilwell's previous and afterwards, he finally decided to talk to Wang Mingyu's troops far away in Mandalay. As a Chinese communication, Stilwell's Chinese is still very good, so naturally the call between Stilwell and Wang Mingyu does not require any interpreter to assist.

Stilwell had heard of this person for Wang Mingyu, but after Stilwell came, Wang Mingyu basically fell silent. Stilwell could only tell Wang Mingyu what kind of person he was from some people. In Stilwell's eyes, Wang Mingyu's several characteristics are as follows: Young and high-ranking officials can fight unruly and unruly

Stilwell now has the order of Chairman Chiang, so he has the power to command the entire expeditionary army. Now that Alexander has said this, he can't help but coordinate. If he is rude, the entire expedition plan will be shattered.

So General Stilwell called a dedicated line far away in Mandalay
